Is It To Be Concerned About The Bump Below The Collarbone?
I was diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday and was prescribed amoxicillin. Today I feel a hard bony bump about 2 inches below my collarbone on the left side. There is a bit of swelling and it is painful to the touch. Should I be concerned? I m generally healthy otherwise, am 24 yrs. old and 98 lbs.
